The tragedy of first position

I might be a little late to the game since this video already has over 1.5 million views, but this is pretty much the cutest thing ever and I had to post it. Poor girl--ballet is hard!

Sketch-a-Day #2/3

Alternate title: Weekends don't count.

So I have been sketching on the computer everyday, but I haven't really had much to show for it, since I've been working more on larger projects than on quick little sketches like that first one. Still, I was thinking about it today whilst drawing, and I realized that if I didn't post something soon, I was going to look like a total lame-o who can't stick to a goal for more than a single day. So, here's a work-in-progress picture. I probably won't post everything I draw while doing this (because I'm pretty sure I'm going to make a lot of crappy artwork during the learning process, and who wants that plastered all over the internet?), but here's something. Maybe it'll be finished someday--but then again, maybe not. We'll see.

Green hair is cool. Also, why do all of my girls have these enormous eyes all of a sudden?

Sketch-a-Day #1

Alternate title: My what big eyes you have!

So sometimes people do this sketch-a-day type thing? And I thought I might jump on the bandwagon? Maybe? Anyway, I started doodling on Photoshop today and thought that if I really wanted to improve, I should maybe try to make this a semi-regular thing. So here's sketch number one, which I did in about 30 minutes.

Kinda rough, but I guess that's why they call it a sketch.

Anyway, it seems like this is something that should keep happening, so hopefully it will.

Procrastination Queen

I am the queen of procrastination. For instance, take this picture:

Imagine that less than 24 hours ago, this picture was composed of mere outlines--no charcoal whatsoever. Also imagine that this paper was 30" x 40". It took me all night long and then some, but I managed to finish it on time, and now I'm ready for some much needed sleep. I'd like to say I'll never do something this crazy again, but... well, I know myself too well :P
